twenty one with four kids

I was 16 and i found out i was pregnant with my first child, a girl. i was extremly nervous but i knew i had no choice. i was responsible enough to have sex i was responsible enough to have a baby. so the choice was made. i brought my little girl into the world but it was not easy. i had to be induced and had only back labor. i really wanted to die at that point and i even told the dr i decided i wanted to go home and i would just be pregnant forever.. needless to say i didnt have that option. so after 14 hours of hard labor and an epidurla that didnt work my daughter came into the world weighing 8 pounds 14.5 ounces! yes she was a chunk and a week over due!

Age 17 when she was four months old i found out i was having my son, j. he was a easy labor but the pregnancy sucked! i was sick all the time. i was in labor for three days but only active for six hours. he came into the world weighing 7 pounds 10.6 ounces! he was perfect!

i went to school and graduated while having the two kids. they went with me everyday and we walked across the stage together.

when i was 19 i found out i was pregnant with my 2 son! i was induced 2 weeks early because i was measuring big and he was large. after 15 hours and having to have him pushed back in and turned because his shoulders got stuck he came into the world weighing 8 pounds 2 ounces.

i am now pregnant with my fourth child and my husband and i are super excited! this will be our final child! we are expecting this baby in april also!

i want to make it clear that yes i was a young mother and i have alwyas taken care of my children and it has always been me. i never lived with my parents and i worked to support them. sometimes two jobs while going to school. i made them, i raise them. end of story. my family has been a huge support but i have always supported MY children!
